Easy claim process – Only weeks before a planned overseas trip my wife was injured when a car ran over her foot. As a result we had to cancel our planned holiday and submit a claim. The process was much simpler than I expected and communication from the claims department was very friendly and no barriers were put in our way. We received a full refund minus our excess. I would not hesitate to Use and to recommend Seniors Travel Insurance again. Show details ·  1

Seniors Travel Insurance is the only one that answered my call – I had tried to contact several other travel insurance companies - emails, online forms and calls. Seniors Travel Insurance is the only one that answered my call - in less than 5 minutes. The operator was very helpful and answered my questions and we have purchased travel insurance from them. I am very confident that if somewthing does go wrong, that Seniors Travel Insurance will answer my call. Show details ·  1

Difficult to set up – Travel insurance couldn't be completed finalised electronically. Advised to contact a consultant by phone, phoned & 45mins later consultant answered and then proceed to setup policy. Several days later had questions re. corona virus, had to wait 30mins to speak with consultant. To date all travel insurance has been with Seniors, been happy with service however on this occasion the wait for a consultant to answer was unacceptable. Show details ·  1

Travel Insurance – The cost is on the high side for seniors who wish to travel. Australian Seniors should consider reducing this cost to encourage more seniors to take up travel insurance and encourage them to take unnecessary risk. Show details ·  1

overseas travel insurance – the policy was clearly explained & the consultant set it up for me over the phone. The consultant had a friendly manner and answered all my questions cheerfully, she did not rush me in any way. This is important when purchasing insurance. This is the first time we have used this company. Show details ·  1

Fantastic As Always – the policy is excellent value and was so easy to set up, the young man who dealt with me could not have been more professional or more friendly. I lodged a claim last year for a flight cancellation owing to British Airways strike, and this was dealt with really quickly. Think this is the 3rd or 4th time I have used Australian Seniors Insurance. Show details ·  1

Travel insurance, a necessary cost of international travel – It seemed a little more expensive than other trips although this was more extensive. I have not lodged a claim and this is our first policy with Aus Seniors. It was easy to set up as the representative explained all aspects and ensured I understood the application of key elements of the policy including pre existing medical conditions, a very important element for senior travellers. Show details ·  1

perfect for us – this is the second time that we have used your company for travel insurance. As seniors we really appreciate the savings for this insurance, but it is not the only thing , the service is great & the really great thing is actually finding a in store office @ lake haven near us. We hope you are able to continue the service for us young at heart. Anthony & Tricia Ditcham Show details ·  1

A ‘one trip’ policy – Previously had annual worlwide cover for a number of years but they’ve stopped offering that. This time just bought a one-off trip policy. Haven’t ever had to claim, but happy with what’s offered. Show details ·  1

Great Value for money – I felt the travel insurance I took out for my upcoming trip is value for money and easy to set up over the phone. This is the second trip I have taken out insurance with Australian Senior Insurance. I haven't made a claim with them so don't know how the service will be if I need to put in a claim. Show details ·  1

Meets our cruise travel insurance requirements – Travel insurance for seniors over 80 is an expensive product. It is necessary to shop around to get a policy that best suits our individual needs, Just purchased policy - travel not until February 2020. First time customer with Australian Seniors. On line quote was quite easy to complete but still took time to consider all questions and answers. Show details ·  1

Travel insurance is essential but expensive – Did not have time to completely research the field, but reasonably satisfied with Seniors Travel policy. We have not travelled yet, so cannot supply any further information. This is the first time we have purchased a policy with you. Show details ·  1

Easy to pay – Cover for a couple of health issues that would be normal in someone aged 80 would have quadrupled the cost of the policy, so decided to allow those to be excluded. Keeping our fingers crossed will be thousands cheaper! But at least they will cover some of that age... Show details ·  1

Easy and efficient insurance – I went to Seniors insurance because the website for the company I usually use, *****, wouldn't function properly. The Senior's site worked perfectly and it hardly took any time. The price was less than expected. I hope I don't have to claim, but if I do, I hope that will be easy too! Show details ·  1

Satisfied customer – I am extremely pleased with ASTI's approach to someone with a pre-existing condition. By my answering a few medical questions, it was established that with my pre-existing condition I did not need a doctor's certificate. That made things a lot easer. Show details ·  1
